Recommended for boilers & dishwashers

Posted on by

If you live in the Barking/SW Essex area I recommend:

1. For boilers & plumbing, HEH (High Efficency Heating). Phone: 0800 389 9613 / 01708 752 700. Actually, scrub that after they left following a recent service the bolier started leaking badly after the guy put too much air (so the next bolier guy said) into the system. Cool.

2. For dishwashers etc, KDS Appliances Ltd, Ilford. Phone (020) 8518 1988. They know their stuff.

3. Cool Geeks Computers Ltd. Phone (020) 262 1808. They came, they saw, they fixed it. Got the ‘dead Dell’ one night, and brought back the next night at half the price PC World would have cost.

Strippng lead off the roofs

Posted on by

In our apartment block in Barking thieves cleverly got round to stripping lead off the roof over the weekend. The police came round but no luck in capturing the people involved. I spoke to an official source who confirmed this was by no means an isolated phenomena. And who confirmed it was due to the current high price for lead – used in the manufacture of bullets for example.

Thankfully a lead-free bullet which is less harmful to the environment has been developed been BAE. I think I’ll drop Mark Thomas a line, it’s dead funny.
